Phew! We’re back.
As you can see we had a pretty good time at the lake. I don’t think I’m going to back-blog it like I have other years but I did sketch the whole time so after I dig my scanner out from under the pile of un-opened mail, I might scan those and put them up.
If I had to pick a theme for this year’s trip it would NOT be fishing like it was last year. We did fish but we only caught bluegills. I would probably have to say that getting a kick-ass tan would be this year’s theme. It wasn’t intentional…I do have to worry about skin cancer and all but when you spend all day out on a lake basking in the sun, a few rays are bound to break through the 50 SPF sunblock. I think I have FINALLY gotten rid of my usual all-year-around farmer’s tan.
And Bug got stung by a hornet. But other than that it was just pretty much your average fun family trip at the lake!
It’s good to be back. Now if only I could figure out a way to ignore all these dishes, the pesky deadlines, an empty refrigerator, two hungry mouths that need to be fed and all the other thousands of household chores that need my attention…

Gone Fishin’
We’re leaving for our annual trip up to the lake in about four hours. Hello 5am. Wish me luck. It’s gonna be a long hard drive straight through. No fancy halfway-there hotels for us this time. And then I’ll be without wifi and cell signal for a week and a half. Eeeek! It’s always scary thinking about the prospect of being truly bored.
It’s good for us though. We’ll catch some fish, eat some steak (that I didn’t have to cook—woot!), drink some wine, roast some marshmallows and throw about a thousand rocks into the lake. Good times.
While I’m gone you can check out my Gap review. It’s finally up. And then later CC might write a guest post, if you’re lucky.
Don’t miss me too much!
